Theres a monster that lives inside of my closet
and he looks just like me
He's awakened by the silence of darkness
because he cannot sleep
He has electric eyes
and they are filled with so many of his dreams
But along with inspiration they fall away into a great deep nothing
Sometimes I can hear him whispering scary things
from underneath my bed
But at times I just think he's alone and he just wants a friend
Other times I go into the bathroom
and I repeat his name
Then I turn the light back on just to see his face again
But what I see coming through in the mirror is a forgotten life
Then I think maybe he's not that scary he just wears a disguise
And when I close the door I see his silhouette at the end of the hall
I close my eyes and realize there is no one at all
Then the silence is abruptly broken by a telephone ring
I pick it up to say hello, but I can only hear screams
But I know now that I'm not being haunted
this is all just in my head
A mixture of over thinking about the shit I just want to forget
